23.01.2022 An update on Sam representing Australia at the 2019 Asia Pacific Deaf Games. With much disappointment we advise that the games in Hong Kong have been cancelled due to escalating violence. Sam is disappointed but of course his and the teams safety is paramount. Last Thursday the Deaf Football Australia team received formal notification from Cameron Miller, the Chef de Mission of the Australian Asia Pacific Deaf Games team that, due to recent changes in the nature of the ongoin...g protests by pro-democracy advocates, Hong Kong Deaf Sports and Asia Pacific Deaf Sports Confederation can no longer guarantee the safety of athletes during the Games. Hong Kong Deaf Sports and the Asia Pacific Deaf Sports Confederation have decided to CANCEL the 9th Asia Pacific Deaf Games. What happens next with the Deaf Football Team? DFA have heard over the weekend that competing countries will be advised of the details of any alternative competition at the end of October. At present we do not have anymore details. Some form of competition is forecast to go ahead; Asia Pacific Deaf Sports needs to confirm the top six countries for the World Championships in September 2020, and the 2021 Deaflympics. Sam has been very fortunate to have considerable support over the past 6 months, with many people helping to allow him to fulfill his dream. Those fundraising dollars received for Sam are safely held and will now be used to cover the costs of any alternative future competition. Sam will attend another training camp in Sydney from the 6th to the 8th of December to ensure that both he and the team stay focused and in shape for future matches. Sam continues to train and follow instructions from the team’s fitness advisor, as he has since making the team. We would like to thank everyone for your support over this time and will keep you advised of when the competition is rescheduled.

14.01.2022 PLEASE READ....important message from our President. Dear Leongatha Knights Football Club community, The committee has recently been involved in discussions both internally and with the GSL in relation to the 2020 future of our club in relation to fielding teams into this seasons competition.... Following receipt of all the information it has been decided that for the safety of the club, players and parents the Leongatha Knights Football Club will not be playing any games in the 2020 GSL season. A very difficult decision and one not taken lightly. Your committee has weighed up a lot of issues including considering the relative numbers of people who had registered to train. I understand that a number of players have paid fees and we will be in touch in the future to discuss how we can move forward. Here is some information and or points that the Committee considered: Safety of all participants in view of the current Covid-19 pandemic. Do we have enough LKFC volunteers to met the game day guidelines, at present we do not have a Secretary and this position is still being sought. Mary MacKillop have advised that we are not able to utilise the LKFC grounds, therefore we would have needed to seek an alternate venue for LKFC home games. Additional costs would have been incurred for use of those grounds. GSL have indicated that they would reduce their by fee $25. LKFC would have to reduce its fees at some stage. No advice has been received from Football Victoria as to if or how much they would refund / reduce for the season. Other clubs have already decided to remove themselves from the 2020 competition. Ultimately a decision had to be made and as a club we have a duty of care to all members of the club. We as many other people at the club have vulnerable people in our lives and Covid-19 does not discriminate, we would be very regretful if something within our families occured. As difficult a decision as it is, we are playing a local level community sport and our responsibility is to that community. I would like like to thank everybody for their efforts in attending our Covid safe trainings along with the relevant coaches. All and any training will therefore stop immediately. Thanks go out to all our Players, Parents, Volunteers and Sponsors who I hope will continue to be involved with the club going forward into 2021. Please stay safe and we look forward to seeing everybody next year ready and rearing to go at our new training facility. Thanking you Glenn Bainbridge LKFC President

At this stage season 2020, due to commence, 19 April will proceed as scheduled. It's important we monitor all the available advice and act according to that advice. We'll keep you updated. Country Championships and Korumburra cup CANCELLED:... GSL will not be committing to the 2020 Country Championships at this time. The organising body have advised they will make a decision closer to the event. The GSL think it's more prudent to act in accordance with the guidelines and information available. Should the advice significantly change we'll reconsider our options at this time. Korumburra cup - cancelled It's a difficult and challenging time to navigate, the health and well being of our Soccer Community is the utmost importance. We understand that some parents are concerned about sending their children to soccer and if you feel the need to keep your children at home that is totally acceptable.
